Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Fleeing in Desperate_Haste_1

Xia Yuqin looked at him like a hot chili pepper looking at an enemy. Once inside, she politely poured a glass of water for Shen Dong and slammed it down on the table, "Speak up, what do you mean by this?"

"Don’t get angry yet," Shen Dong quickly phrased his response, waving his hands to pacify Xia Yuqin.

He started by addressing the children, "You might not live as well as you used to, but you’ll have more friends. Learning to get along with classmates is also important, right?"

"I still want Teacher Xia," one child spoke up.

Another one stood by Liu Tingjuan’s side, "I still want to eat the food cooked by Mother Liu."

Shen Dong was genuinely surprised to find that these kids had such a strong bond with Xia Yuqin and Liu Tingjuan. He smiled and said, "They will certainly go, but the students there don’t have as good a family background as you. Do not compete with others; you must be united with your classmates, understand?"

"I like it least when you act grown-up," the child who had had confrontations with Shen Dong turned his head away, "So, who will we listen to when we go there?"

Oh, is this where the drama lies?

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong glanced meaningfully at Xia Yuqin and Liu Tingjuan. Both women stared neutrally ahead, feigning ignorance.

He didn’t answer but stood up with a smile, "As for that, Teacher Xia will tell you."

"I need to leave early; I have something to do."

"Hey!" Xia Yuqin moved forward with a wave of her hand, not expecting Shen Dong to suddenly turn around.

Shen Dong didn’t elaborate or inquire further, simply saying indifferently, "If there’s something you can’t figure out, just talk to Xu Zheng. I’m leaving."

A free, high-quality private tutoring institution could expand terrifyingly fast; power and status rise with the tide. Xia Yuqin was ambitious, which was understandable.

However, understanding did not mean indulgence.

Sigh, thinking of private tutoring made Shen Dong’s heart ache involuntarily. As the number of citywide exams in Jing City increased, the reputation of private tutors would only get better. So much money!

...

"Forget it, I’ve already made six hundred million; consider it giving back to the society," Shen Dong consoled himself. Suddenly, there was a ’whoa’ sound as Kang Yue popped out spiritedly from the shaded path of the community.

"You’re crazy, you scared the life out of me," Shen Dong said with disdain, annoyed, "What are you doing here? Where is Chengyu?"

Unaffected by the scolding, Kang Yue wrapped her arms around Shen Dong’s arm, her voice brimming with delight, "Chengyu has gone to the bank to transfer some money. Guess what, how big of a property did I manage to acquire?"

The deal was done?

Ignoring the strange feeling on his arm, Shen Dong asked eagerly, "How big?"

"Nine hundred hectares including the bay, just for 30 billion yuan!" Kang Yue tossed her head proudly, looking up at a 45-degree angle, clearly fishing for praise.

Nine hundred hectares, ninety thousand mu of land, that’s the size of a township or a city district.

The area of two Tsingpe Universities!

In ten years, such a large piece of land would be worth at least several hundred billion!

Excited, Shen Dong found himself breathless with anticipation before deflating slightly, "Are you joking? It isn’t all barren hills and wild ridges, is it?"

"Surrounded by the plain sea!" Kang Yue enunciated, beaming with pride.

"It can’t be that simple, though. Has a leader taken a fancy to you?" Shen Dong hoped for a pie in the sky but was also afraid of being smashed by it.

Kang Yue pouted, shifting the topic, "It’s the most severely saline-alkali affected area and also includes a subsidence area caused by seawater intrusion. But, it’s definitely not an issue for building an amusement park."

Lu Xun pondered every word, wary, "Is that all?"

"There’s more, but it’s not an issue with the bay." Kang Yue rubbed her plump nose, speaking seriously, "Hai City’s development will focus on the tourism industry.

Hongda, Wanfeng, and these factories will inevitably have to be relocated. According to the leaders, we should take care of the relocation compensation. Of course, the land after relocation will still be developed by us."

Shen Dong’s smile gradually faded as he said, "Hai City may be an underdeveloped industrial county, but there’s no shortage of industrial land." Is there a rough figure for the compensation?"

"Hongda wants one hundred and eighty million, Wanfeng wants three hundred and forty million," said Kang Yue, pulling out his phone and reading off his notes, "I have calculated the current construction costs, and the construction cost for factory buildings is between four hundred to six hundred per square meter.

Aside from the factory buildings, Hongda’s ground construction includes dormitories and a newly built office building, which at a construction cost of nine hundred to one thousand two hundred per square meter, makes one hundred and eighty million reasonable. Don’t even think about Wanfeng; they think everything they have is valuable and are asking for the moon."

By the time they said this, the two had already returned to Silver Moonlight.

Shen Dong pondered all the way that factory relocation was a necessary part of Hai City’s plan, and that money was definitely going to be spent.

But the thought of suddenly coming up with several billion made his ample funds tighten in an instant.

Kang Yue, as a high-up at Harper, saw Shen Dong’s distress and also seized the chance to show initiative, "Give you, a method?"

"Nonsense, just say it," Shen Dong internally calculated countless ways of spending money, but no matter how he figured it, he would end up poorer.

Kang Yue, the girl closed the door, her voice mysterious, "Make Wanfeng go bankrupt."

"What?"

Prejudiced, Shen Dong immediately objected, "That’s too far-fetched, Wanfeng has its roots in the city and has strong funds..."

"Mr. Shen! Let someone finish talking, will you!" Kang Yue suddenly whined coquettishly, her brows dancing.

Shen Dong was instantly speechless, rubbing the goosebumps on his body, "You talk; go on."

"We just need Hongda to recruit workers in Hai City, and Wanfeng will go bankrupt!" With one sentence, Kang Yue left Shen Dong dumbfounded.

"Hongda is recruiting every day, but this..." Halfway through his confused words, Shen Dong’s eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, poach Wanfeng’s workers and force them to stop production!"

"Can they withstand it?"

"You want to get me into trouble?"

Shen Dong shuddered, hastily let go, and said sheepishly, "Kidding, just kidding, don’t take it seriously."

Giggling, Kang Yue watched as Shen Dong beat a hasty retreat, her laughter full of charm.

But inside, she was astonished to no end.

Zhou Chengyu had already taken out two billion that morning, and now at least another two billion had to be given for the factory relocation, four billion without even blinking an eyelid?

Shen Dong had no idea of the impression this left on Kang Yue.

Walking outside, he gave his hand a sharp pinch, chastising himself, "Do I owe it to myself, getting touchy for no reason!"

"Hey, I was just looking for you."

Zhou Chengyu, carrying a bag of prepared foods, seemed to have successfully transferred the property and become a big landowner.

Shen Dong teased, "What kind of status does Mr. Zhao have, that he still eats roast chicken and pig’s head meat?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Zhou Chengyu gave Shen Dong a disapproving glance and jerked his head towards the room inside.

Entering the room, Zhou Chengyu scanned outside warily, closed the door, and mysteriously pulled Shen Dong into a corner, "You can’t hog all the wealth when you’ve struck it rich. I’ve invited Wang Xiaocong and Tang Yuchan over for dinner; you should share some of the money."

"I was so busy I forgot," Shen Dong smacked his forehead.

He instructed Zhou Chengyu, "Later, when I talk, just act like you know nothing. If anyone asks how much money you made, just play dumb."

"Alright."

Sharing the profits was definitely necessary. Comradeship was comradeship, but rules were rules and should not be muddled.

As Shen Dong was mulling it over, the two of them had already arrived.
